- You don't need to own a printer to install it. Just use PrintManager to
- install the printer, and when you go to print, highlight that printer in your
- list of "installed" printers and hit the save button.
-
- The only hassle is that you have to remember to reset to your real local
- printer when you want to print something else out. If you forget to do this,
- be sure to use PrintManager to clear the print queue for the "virtual" printer.
